Just got married this weekend! It was beautiful and so many people did so much to help us out. Quick rant/advice for your big day do whatever you have to do to keep guests out of your on site suite before the ceremony. i scheduled 45 minutes after...

I’m 8 days away and my MUA told me yesterday via text that she was cutting my appointment short to make it to another gig. It’s $500 for my hair and make up, my moms hair and makeup and one bridesmaids hair. She’s bringing someone I never met...

I was so happy with my venue, Carpinteria Lions Club until this week. We are 20 days out and I’ve been in touch with the bar manager for months. This week they dropped the following on me... -the price of the specialty cocktail went up by...

We’re 30 days out and my poor MIL took a tumble and broke her leg. She’ll be ok in a few months but will have to be in a wheelchair for our wedding day. She’s feeling really down about it and self conscious it. I’m looking for ways to make her feel...

We’ve got a lot of rsvps back with cute notes from guests... but also a lot of artitude. Some people are acting like such an inconvenience to have to check a box and put it in the stamped, addresses envelope provided. Other people think they already...

I got my Pronovias Racimo in crepe and I do love it but I’m having trouble with how sheer it is. Did anyone else have this problem? I assumed it would better lined and it’s disappointing

I'm getting married outside in July and I haven't come up with a signature cocktail yet. Froze (Rose Slushies) just popped in my head and now I'm obsessed the idea. Has anyone ever seen or done this? Adding the frozen margarita machine to our rental...

Invitations have been a surprisingly difficult task to pull off! First they sent my invitations on high gloss, but RSVP cards on linen. Then I waited for the reorder and they came all blurry! My FH (who generally thinks everything is 'fine') was like...

Everyone who is important in my life has a 3 year old. My Niece is 3, my MOHs kid is 3 and I just can’t imagine excluding them from our wedding. We also have cousins and other important guests with little ones. When I tell people we will have 10 kids...

CA July 7th brides! Have your dresses come in yet? I ordered mine last July and it’s now taken double the amount of time they quoted for delivery. It’s a simple (not custom) Pronovias I bought from Mia Bella in San Diego, but my consultant doesn’t...

We just sent save the dates and paid a lot of the deposits to vendors... the venue is in between Ventura and Santa Barbara. The fire is approaching the venue according to the maps I'm finding. My plan B venue (friends parents vineyard, not their...

I bought my dress from a store in San Diego because I go there to visit my bestie. The consultant was not helpful with getting in our out of dresses and pretty much I had to depend on my friends for help. Well they had the dress I wanted so I bought...
